There When You Need 'Em

A good cook needs support.  A kitchen that will be there for him/her when the going gets tough.   Think in terms of multipleswhen it comes to certain appliances, such as refrigerators and freezers.  I'm constantly amazed by how much my need for refrigerator space grows each year as my children get bigger!  My son will soon require his very own refrigerator just for the gallons of milk he consumes each week.  The luxury kitchens that I design almost always have at least two 30" refrigerator/freezer units.  On some occasions, I'll even design with two 36" units and even have another unit in a nearby pantry or butler's pantry for overflow.  You can always prioritize the items most frequented and put them in your primary refrigerator.  Bulk items with longer expiration dates can go in the secondary refrigerator, as can lots of beverages for guests.  Nothing will make you feel as organized about your kitchen as will having ample refrigerator and freezer space!
